Little Richard’s Bible Lyrics – Elton John & Brandi Carlile
Penniman and Macon go together
Singing loud sweet Georgia, ooh, my soul
Black mascara thicker than molasses
*** and sinners take a toll
Freedom feathers falling from old Jim Crow
Got the Mississippi Blues on the radio
Big Easy baking in the red-hot sun
Rock and roll to number one
Little Richard woke up wanting
To cast off *** and idols
God whispered in his ear, “Come on over here
Son, get yourself a Bible”
Pompadour piled *** to the sky
Christ is coming by and by
Long Tall Sally, my, oh my
He’s got the good book by his side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
With Richard and the Devil divided
The Holy Word from Heaven’s hands
The sound of sweet salvation
Ringing in the ears of every man
Made up, looking pretty
Vanity won’t prevail
It’s hot down south, but shut your mouth
Grab that old boy by the tail
Little Richard woke up wanting
To cast off *** and idols
God whispered in his ear, “Come on over here
Son, get yourself a Bible”
Pompadour piled *** to the sky
Christ is coming by and by
Long Tall Sally, my, oh my
He’s got the good book by his side
Ba-doo-d-dom-doo-day
Oh, tutti-frutti
